Great for stateside ranges. Unfeasible in a REAL fire fight! 1: Too small with gloves on. 2: Brown side means deaf that equals dead! 3: Lose one and might as well toss the other and the ones with a cheap plastic cord is destined to snag on something stopping you or God forbid yank you back (clothesline). 4: They look cheap and made for kids, is too much to make them tactical? Pattern on one, zone solid (coyote tan, folliage, black, grey) the other side. 5: Tried them but 2 out of 10 missions, I'd choose my buddies life and mine over wearing something that is dangerous and could mean the difference between life or death, I don't gamble.
